2024届高考英语读后续写训练5(Forgetful mother)
A Vacation with My Mother
I had an interesting childhood. It was filled with surprise and amusements, all because of my mother-- loving, sweet, and yet absent-minded and forgetful. One strange family trip we took when I was eleven tells a lot about her.
My two sets of grandparents in Colorado and North Dakota, and my parents decided to spend a few weeks driving to those states and seeing all the sights along the way. As the first day of our trip approached, David, my eight-year-old brother, and I unwillingly said good-bye to all of our friends. Who knew if we’d ever see them again Finally, the moment of our departure arrived, and we loaded suitcases, books, games, comping equipment, and a tent into the car and bravely drove off. We bravely drove off again two hours later after we’d returned home to get the purse and traveler’s checks Mom had forgotten.
David and I were always a little nervous when using gas station bathrooms if Mom was driving while Dad slept: “You stand outside the door and play lookout while I go, and I’ll stand outside the door and play lookout while you go.” I had terrible pictures in my mind: “Honey, where are the kids ” “What Oh, Gosh... I thought they were being awfully quiet.” We were never actually left behind in a strange city, but we weren’t about to take any chances.
On the fourth of fifth night, we had trouble finding a hotel with a vacancy. After driving in vain for some time, Mom suddenly got a great idea: Why didn’t we find a house with a likely-looking backyard and ask if we could set up tent there David and I became nervous. To our great relief, Dad turned down the idea. Mom never could understand our objections. If a strange family showed up on her front doorsteps, Mom would have been delighted. She thinks everyone in the world as nice as she is. We finally find a vacancy in the next town.
The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us.
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way.

Sample 1:
The next day we remembered the brand-new tent we had brought with us. Mom insisted that we should make full use of it. David and I looked at Dad, who smiled and nodded in agreement. Then we spent a whole afternoon seeking a nice camping site and finally set up our tent before night fell. It was the first time that I had thought Mom could be wise as I admired our stunning tent. “Oh, I forgot the pillows!” Mom screamed. Despite the ache in our neck, we had an unforgettable night.
We drove through several states and saw lots of great sights along the way. The limitless green grass, the wandering sheep, the setting sun and the countless stars above the curtain of night kept me spellbound. Not only did we enjoy the picturesque scenery, but we were also happy to have forgetful and absent-minded Mom around, who brought lots of laughter to our trip. We really love her. Eventually, we arrived at our grandparents’ places, all four of us and not a single one left behind.
